Do you know the “Evacuation Area” in your neighborhood or workplace?

You never know when a disaster may occur. It is important to be aware of evacuation sites on a regular basis so that you can move quickly. It is also important to confirm with your family “where to evacuate to?”

In the case of a major earthquake such as the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, there is a possibility that buildings you normally use as landmarks may collapse or roads may be cut off, making it impossible to pass through. Evacuation sites can be searched for on the Internet. Try using the keywords “name of your municipality” and “evacuation site” on the search page.

It is also possible that you may be struck by a disaster while at work. It is also useful to know the route from your workplace to your home on foot. This will give you basic physical strength in case of an emergency.
